A recent trip to Hobart was mostly spent in conference and drinking far too much pinot noir.

We had dinner at Salamanca where we discussed all manner of secret women’s business, wandered down to a wine bar to discuss everything else until closing, we didn’t go to the casino.

Apparently on a Wednesday night the casino closes at 2am.

Fact.

Anyway I did manage to go for a walk on my free morning…

Fishing boatsMore fishing boatsThe parks around the city are very EnglishA stunning tree mostly because of the lushness of the flowers on the bare branchesI saw a few of these trees - all had more flowers than the one in the parkI love a city with a little relief - yes that's Mt Wellington.Love the views around Battery Point.Such cute houses!View from near the CSIROLooking back towards the bridgeLook at the starfish and not my feet.

Hobart is lovely.

It has a real country town feel.

In winter, the streets are almost deserted.

Tourist precinct shops close midweek and the city has a sleepy feel even when the weather is gorgeous.
